EYFS

The Early Years Foundation Stage is your child’s experience of school between the ages of 3-5 years. At Brampton Primary School we place great importance on giving your child the perfect first taster of school life! 

We welcome children into the Foundation Stage at the beginning of the term following their third birthday. Children attend part time Nursery (mornings or afternoons) until the September after their fourth birthday. Children then start in our Reception class full time.

When your child first starts Nursery or the Reception class it is a very big step. We aim to make this transition into school as exciting and worry free as we can for children. We work closely with parents to build a firm partnership between home and school to ease this transition process.

Within our Foundation Stage Unit we provide a range of stimulating, child centred activities on a daily basis. We place great emphasis on learning through play and regard the early formative years as a crucial time in a child’s educational development. All indoor and outdoor activities are centred around the 7 areas of learning set out in the new Early Years Foundation Stage Framework. Children have continuous access to high quality outdoor learning in both Nursery and Reception years. These hands-on activities and experiences provide the springboard for children as they begin their journey through school.
